The drive was quiet.At first I knew the roads he was driving on but after a while I didn’t recognize them.

All a I could think of was Alex,Sam,Stephanie and Jany.

I don’t even know this guy and i'm going to live with him.

Maybe it was worth it living with Nancy.If I never moved in with them I wouldn’t of met Jany or Stephanie.Or any of them actually.But why now?Why did he barely look for me now?

I looked over at him giving him a glare.He turns to look at me and raises his eyebrow then turns back to face the front.”What?”He sais.

I just look at him and waited for an answer as if he could read my mind.

“Why?Why did you barely look for me now?I mean it would of been nice to have a family member with me ten years ago”I say exaggerating my words.

He stayed quiet for a moment.

“Jessica,it was complicated.I was on the other side of the world when I found out.I never met you when you were younger because I never knew that you existed.Thats why you don't know me.I ran away from home when I was about your age.I never saw your mom again.”He tells me glancing at me then back to the front.”I found out about you when they told me that she had passed away.”

“So why didn’t you come look for me then?”I say kind of mad.

“It was complicated.If you were in my position would you want to take care of someone else.You would of had to be my responsibility and I wasn't sure if I could do it..”He sais making me realize that Honestly I wouldn’t.

He sighs.”A couple years after,I changed my mind and looked for you”He explains making me look at him.

“But..I didn’t find you.Im guessing you moved alot”He sais makink me look down again.

“So when I didn't find you I gave up..Yea,I regret it now and always have.I have a job now and am a little bit more stable I guess.I just finished traveling half of the world”He sais.“What do you mean?”I wondered out loud.“Its all thanks to my job.”He sais grinning.

We drove for a few minutes until we arrived at a house.It looked like it had two floors.It had a balcony on the top one.It wasn’t to small and not to big.

I got out of the car admiring the house while Anthony got my suitcase from the back seat.

“What do you think?”He sais smiling at me then the house.“Could be better”I say jokingly.

He then gives me a surprised look.”ok then”He sais.

“Its great”I say with a laugh.”Gosh I didn't know being gullible runs in the family”I say apparently making him grin.

We walk down the cement path until we reach the door.I let him open the door since it is ‘his’ house.

He opens the door and I follow behind him as he walks inside.He puts down my suitcase in the living room and takes me to the kitchen.

The living room was big but not bigger than the kitchen.

He pointed towards the stairs.”And upstairs are the rooms.”He sais.“nice right”He smirks bragging and I just roll my eyes walking back to the kitchen.

“So,how many people live here?”I ask sitting down on one of the high top chairs that reach the counter.

“I have five kids.Now six.”He sais with a laugh.

“Ok?So I moved from a family that had four kids because they couldn’t handle it, and am now living in a family with 5 kids?”I say making him chuckle.“I guess”He sais.

Great.What if I don't get along with the other kids.Like Sam and Nancy.Or if they get on my last nerve like Alex and Tony did.Don't get me wrong I love Alex and Tony but they were pretty annoying at times.

“So are you married.I mean how else would you have kids,unless they’re adopted?”I say.

“No,im not married.I found them.In the dumpster”He sais with a laugh.I couldnt help it and grinned but then tried to put a straight face because thats pretty fucked up that hes laughing.

“Lets see if you’d be laughing when they find out that you said that”I say making him laugh.

“So where are they?”I question.I know.Sooo many questions go about in my little head.

“They went to the mall.They should be on their way”He tells me.“Oh”Is how I responded.

“Ok!So your room is over here”He sais picking up my suitcase taking me upstairs.We passed by a couple of doors.Probably the other kids rooms.

My room was perfect size.Well for me anyways.

I actually liked the choice of color.Its as if he already knew me.

“You like it?”He asks.

“Yea.Its great”I answer being honest.”Did you pick this out?”I ask him with a laugh.”I got a little help”He sais.

He then walks out of the room leaving me to unpack and organize.This is going to be my new room anyway.The question came back to me over and over again in my head.

For how long ‘would’ this be my room?...
